Chapter 11, Problem 7RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The definition of dipole-dipole interactions is to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The forces present between molecules that hold them together are known as intermolecular forces.

There are different types of forces known. These include dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and so on.

Dipole-dipole interactions refer to the type of forces present in a polar molecule. It occurs when the partially negative portion of one of the polar molecules is attracted to the partially positive portion of the second polar molecule.
